Characters in "A Star Called Henry"

So far the character is a baby that has just come into the world. Melody, the mother, is depicted as young and fair, but later shows age through how tired she is these days. Henry Smart, the father, is man who looks like he is down on his luck. His coat is dirty and tattered, while his face is covered in dirt with traces of dry blood. He also carries around a shovel to help him walk since he is missing a leg. Roddy Doyle does an amazing job describing the way they look and how their personalities are. From the way he describes the characters, I can get a perfect image in my head. Roddy Doyle is very direct when he describes his characters. All of the characters are very believable, by the way they are depicted. Melody is that innocent girl that runs in to Henry and from there, their story of love unravels. This was a very true scene, with how things went. The main character is also the narrator who takes us through his own birth, and by the way that he tells his story makes him a very likable character from the start.He describes himself as the biggest baby the town has ever seen. A baby that could equal a triplet and survive no matter what was thrown at him.
